Flabellina pedata and others? from Turkey (1)

Hi,
I have photos of a number of different specimens that all look like Flabellina pedata to me. Are these also F. pedata?

LOWER RIGHT: Istanbul, Turkey. 7 October 2001. Divesite: Yassiada, Depth: 22m

Dear Baki,
Some more very interesting photos. I have split your photos up into three separate messages. I think these two are probably Flabellina pedata. The rhinophores appear to be smooth and only the anterior cluster of cerata appear to have a common base or stalk.

In a separate message I have put a group of your photos I think are probably Flabellina ischitana, and in another message I have put a photo I can't identify with any certainty.

I would be grateful for some thoughts from some of you more familiar with the Mediterranean fauna.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
